ANNEX 1
This survey is being administered in 18 OECD countries to compare how upper secondary education is
provided. The questionnaire asks for information about:
The educational programs offered in your school site;
The schools resources;
Teachers;
The use of information technology and the obstacles in this area;
The contacts of the school with higher education and the world of work;
Some pedagogical and administrative practices.
How will the information be used?
Your information will help reveal disparities of resource distribution particularly for new technologies
both within and between countries. You will receive a summary of the information collected in your
country so that you may compare your own situation to other schools in the country where upper
secondary education is provided.
By filling out this questionnaire you also contribute to Education at a Glance, one of the leading educational
publications of the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development. Using comparative
statistics, OECD in co-operation with the Member countries identifies and develops indicators and
international benchmarks in key issues in education to help policy makers who seek to improve their
countries education systems.
For further information on OECDs activities and publications related to education you may want to
consult www.oecd.org and www.pisa.oecd.org.
How should you respond to this questionnaire?
The questionnaire should be completed by the <principal >or designate. Some of the questions ask
information about which you may want to consult staff members in your school. Once you have this
information, the questionnaire should take about 45 minutes to complete.
If you do not know an answer precisely, your best estimation will be adequate for the purposes of this
survey.
Your answers will be kept confidential. Thank you.
